I agree with an earlier post that window light with a reflector is your best
bet. I have, however, had good luck with a T20 just shoe mounted on my
macro shots. I was surprised, as I was just playing around. The extension
tube should work quite well for you. It's a nice combo.
The off camera idea is a good one, but the T20 doesn't have a TTL connector,
so you'll need the TTL Auto Connector T20:

which are a bit hard to find (sort of a holy grail item here on the list).
Start with the windows and see what happens.
